Dashrendr Is Live on Product Hunt

We are live on Product Hunt

Dashrendr is launching on Product Hunt today. If you want to go straight there, here is the launch page. Otherwise, here is what we built and why.

Why we built it

In every project I have worked on, analytics eventually showed up on the roadmap. And it never stopped there. Someone wanted a different chart type, someone else wanted a different metric, and every tweak meant rewriting a query and pushing a new deployment. The dashboard became a permanent, low-grade tax on engineering time.

Dashrendr exists to take that work off the backlog. Dashboards become something anyone on the team can change, in a builder, without a release.

What Dashrendr does

• Visual builder. Drag charts onto a grid and have a dashboard ready in minutes. Changes happen in the builder, with no code and no deployment.
• Two ways to get data in. Connect a data source directly, or POST JSON from your backend when the data does not live somewhere we can reach.
• Built for multi-tenant SaaS. Your app already knows who is logged in, so each customer only sees their own data. There is no row-level security to set up.
• Embed anywhere. Drop dashboards into your product, or share them internally with your team.
• Chart types and custom themes. Enough of both that dashboards look like part of your product rather than a bolted-on iframe.

How it is built

Dashrendr runs entirely on Google Cloud Run. The API (NestJS and Fastify), the web portal and visual builder (Next.js), and the background workers that render dashboards and send email are each deployed as their own Cloud Run service. Firestore holds the data, Cloud Storage caches query results, and Secret Manager handles credentials. Everything deploys automatically through GitHub Actions and Terraform, with separate development and production environments.

As a solo developer, that setup matters. There are no servers to manage, services scale to zero when things are quiet, which counts for a great deal when you are pre-revenue, and they scale back up when traffic arrives. It means time spent on the product rather than on infrastructure.

Launch offer

For the launch there is an extra 18% off any plan with the code PRODUCTHUNT, valid until November 14.

What would help most

This is early, and I am looking for the first real users. Honest feedback is worth more right now than upvotes. I am also deciding what to build next, and I would rather not add AI simply because everyone else has.

• Would you use the connectors, the API, or both?
• More connectors, or AI that builds a dashboard from a plain description such as "monthly revenue by plan"? Which would you actually use?
• What would stop you from trying it?

Answers to any of those are welcome in the Product Hunt thread. Thanks for taking a look.
